Begin Reading and Answer Questions for China's Crisis with Communism
Not related to China, but Mexico, Cappucci still has the Tabasco sauce I gave him at the beginning of sophomore year as a prize for a top-scoring quiz. When I did, I told him he could redeem it for a gift at Graduation. I didn't think he'd keep it. Obviously I didn't know Cappucci well then. 

Begin reading pages 144 - 169 in China in Crisis - 1976-89 and answer the first 7 questions

The first seven questions are due Monday, March 16 at 8:20 a.
